I'm not sure how the bankruptcy system works in Canada, but it seems
to me that there must be a more orderly process. Unless the entity
doing the seizing actually owns the aircraft (i.e. leased to the
bankrupt corp.), I can't imagine that they could go around seizing
property that does not belong to them. If that were the case,
creditors could loot the assets of a bankrupt company on a first-come,
first served basis.

I know it doesn't work like that in the U.S. Here, you stake your
claim in bankruptcy court along with all of the other creditors.
